Anelo, which means inspiration, desire, will, was the name chosen for the Institute formally founded in 2000, but which originated in 1997, when a group of young people led by Luccas Soares, all residents of Jardim  Florence, Campinas (SP), started a voluntary activity with the goal of teaching music free of charge to children and adolescents. Throughout these 17 years, 3,500 students passed through Instituto Anelo, many of them, today, professors and professional musicians.
